Restore USA product?

I did a search and had a hard time finding anything about this, so I'm sorry if it's redundant! I have a '95 SE w/ minimal modifications and I'm burning about 1 qt. of oil every 750 miles, give or take under fairly normal driving conditions (shifts at 3k or less). It currently has just over 152k miles with very regular servicing and oil changes. My compression numbers are 150, 150, 130, 140, 145, and 150 psi for cylinders 1 to 6 respectively. Cylinder #3 and #4 look like the culprits.

I've just switched to 10W40 oil to see if it will help, but I was wondering if anyone has ever used the "Restore" engine product. Here's a link to the product: http://www.restoreusa.com/restorer.html

Anyone tried it? I figure even if I spend a few dollars and it doesn't work, I'm not really out much, but I want to make sure that it's not going to make the problem worse. Just curious. Thanks in advance!

I think it's just an oil thickener. I used a similar product on my ex-girl's car back in college and it stopped the burning. But you had to keep putting the stuff in at every oil change.
